Not all that much happens, but we do get more on Sasuke's motivations against Konoha and learn more of Kabuto's past. Kabuto was also quite creepy this chapter, especially with him wanting Sasuke to accept him as a big brother. It was interesting to see that Sasuke and Tobi were apparently ballsy enough to waltz around where there were possible Konoha ninjas to see them. Seeing them just sitting around drinking together was surreal, a throwback to Itachi's partnership with Kisame. And Konoha being the one who made Kabuto into the spy he is, until they eventually stopped trusting him, was a surprise but not unexpected. If they didn't trust him, I don't see how him switching sides wasn't to be expected. Seems like it wasn't just with the Uchiha and Naruto that Konoha failed. Anyway, I can't wait to see what and how Izanami works. Pretty decent chapter.

A soul that cannot be saved drifts and disappears,
In the instant it vanishes, it shines faintly,
Now, it creates a night with a full moon.

I'm betting that when Sasuke creates some all powerful fire jutsu called Kagatsuchi. It's SO going to happen.

Also one of my first thoughts when I read the legend of Izanagi and Izanami on Narutopedia (gotta love that site; it's all so well explained). But like 7 tyranitars said, it's already been done. Too bad Sasuke only used it once against the Raikage (to my better knowledge). He has a knack to only use "special" jutsus once. Summoning that hawk against Danzo, Kirin and Blaze Release. Oh well, it's never too late to reuse them at some point I suppose.

Agreeed.

Still a fine chapter. Was expecting a lot more action but it's nice having these dialogue parts and a little more of Kabuto's backstory. I honestly can't predict Sasuke's next step regarding Konohagakure. It's all been so wobbly. Still, he'll remain hating the village due to his unavoidable battle against Naruto.

So it looks like we did get Izanami; Kishi is becoming a little too predictable. Anyway, that was the highlight of the chapter since there wasn't much action. I did like that flashback scene where Sasuke and Tobi were at a cafe, though. I also liked Kabuto's explanation about being a spy, although we kind of knew that stuff already.

Except Sasuke isn't the one using it...so it wasn't as everyone predicted

- I love the cover of SJ this week. Spring must be beautiful in Japan.
- Kabuto's slow.
- Who's in the other cloak? Wtf? All of Taka?
- A reward? Good one, nameless Leaf ninja!
- Oh, it's Tobi. That's awkward.
- I don't like Sasuke, but this is a really good scene...
- No Itachi! Tell him how he's an idiot NOW!
- Oh, oh noo...
- It happened. Oh god, more eye hax.
- What's the opposite of living!?

I liked the chapter in context, but I think it could have used less talking. It seems like this fight is going nowhere, and most of this chapter was about how Sasuke felt betrayed, and we already knew that. However, I really liked the flashback at the ramen restaurant with Tobi. I think that was a really good character development scene for him, even if it was in the past.

So it looks like we did get Izanami; Kishi is becoming a little too predictable.

Predicting the name of a technique does not mean he is becoming too predictable. He uses the name of Japanese Gods so it was evident he would have used it eventually. If he's become to predictable I'd like you to tell me what it does.

I'm late to the party again. This weeks chapter was alright. I'm still hoping this battle is short, just not interested in it. But I did like the offscreen thing where Sasuke was listening to those Konoha ninjas about Itachi. I always wanted Sasuke to be in a undercover cloak in a public location while people talked smack about him and his family just to see how he would react and take it. I hate to admit it but I kinda did feel bad for Sasuke during that scene. His brother died a good guy who saved the village and hardly anyone knew it. And to make matters worse they were talking bad about him. I kinda understand Sasuke's anger there. I still don't condone his wanting to kill everyone in Konoha and never will but it was nice to see the human side of Sasuke instead of the heartless monster he usually is. Other then that and a little about Kabuto's backstory this was a meh chapter, overall. I'm not really excited to see this new Uchiha power, as if they don't already have enough, even now in the final hours they show off something new. Must be grand to be a Uchiha.

Izanami casts a unbreakable genjutsu over the opponent is my guess. Since that would be the opposite of Izanagi. That or Izanami lets you control the opponent in exchange for both your eyes.

突撃ロック, Totsugeki Rock. (Rock Assault, or whatever. It's funny because both times the song's title is spoken, Naruto destroys something made of stone. The first is the Hokage monument...for some reason and the second, a boulder.)

I have seen it, don't like the song that much but it's kind of cool how they show Alied shinobi forces.
